The New Yorks Play n Poor Game OF

Boys Hit TItcomb Hard.
The New York base ball team care to
New Haven yesterday and in the afternoon
played with the Yals team at the Yale Field.
It rained about 2 O'Clock and this put
damper on the attendance, which was about
500, and also put the grounds in poor condi-
ton to play on. If theF afternoon had been
pleasant as the forenoon she game would have
been largely attended and the playing better
than it was. Before 8 o'clock the rain stopped
coming down, and i it, was after that hour
when the game was begun. The New Yorks
went out to the grounds about o'clock, and
took great delight in Watching the football
team practice.
The playing of the New Yorks was of
listlsss fashion. They put no spirit into their
work and acted as if they had no intention
of winning. Their errors gave the Yales
half their runs. But these errors would
probably not have seriously affected the re-
suit of the game if they had not encountered
an insurmountable barrier in the form of
Stages pitching. The game did
not start in with the machine or
nervous during the first inning, but when
they tied the score and were cheered on by
their confreres in the grand stand they were
at once imbued with confidence and played a
remarkably good game. The New Yorks
opened on Stages pitching in manner not
to inspire courage in the hearts of the Yale
team, but after the first inning they only

ing stood on third with his arms folded most
of the time and with his usual smile spread
out as long as possible. he did not make 9
clean hit during the game.
Browns throwing to bases was what cap
tured the spectators. The Yales started in
to run bases in their usual daring style. Nc
Conkey, the star base runner of the Yale
team, was the first one who tried to steal sec
ond, but when he and Damn were easily
caught by Browns throwing they concluded
to hug their bases moro closely. Stagg ID
principally responsible for the defeat of the
New Yorks. They had eight left on bases
while Yale had only one, which shows that
the visitors could ot-hit Stagg at 'oppoftune
points. Titeomb pitched q fine game also.
He struck out five men and Stage two, but
the former was hit hard in the second inning,
when the Yale team made five runs. The
home team placed nearly all their hits on the
ground. Almost all of the New Yorks went
out on fly balls. The New Yorks at times
played stupidity, but this was probably due
to the fact that they were chilled through.
McCenkey distinguished himself by catching
fly within six inches of the ground while

The New Yorks were hrst to the bat.
When Umpire James H Kelly called play
Herman stepped to the plate and q minute
later the bali was whizzing into left field.
Before the side was out three runs had been
made. Stage started in by making hit
which Titcomb tried to reach, but did moi
succeed. A wild pitch advanced Stage tc
second and on passed ball he made third.
McConkey got four strikes, but Brown muH
ed the last strike and threw wildly to first
and Stazg scored and McConkey was safe.
The latter made an effort to steal second
throwing, for the ball was in Rainey's hands
and the latter stood waiting for McConkey
when he was but half way to second. Hunt
got to first on FIVE balls aud got second on 6
wild pitch. With three strikes on him Noyet
made beautiful hit between center and left
fields, which Herman made.a hard effort tC
get, but could not quite reach. Hunt scored
and Noyes got second. Heyworth struck
out, and when Noyes attempted to steal
third Brown threw over Ewing's head and
Noyes scored. Osborn went out, Ewing tx
George, but the Yale boys had tied ths
score.
The Yales won the game in the second in
ming on four clean hits and phantom which
Melted five runs. The New Yorks made one
after that in each of the third and sixth in
nings In the sixth Yale made two more OF
a phantom and several wild throws by the
visitors. 1t was too dark to play after tn
sixth inning. The score:
